HAPPY THOUGHTS SENSATION AMONG TWO-MOLDS Great Little Filly Wins From Best in East Carrying 119 Pounds, By United Finoncinl Saratoga springs, Aug. 16. When Happy Thoughts goes Into her first stake engagement in the West, the marvelous 2-year-old filly will carry a lot of eastern money, for every one who has seen the Tyavers miss perform here is positive she is the best of her age. She has raced three times this year, once in Canada and twice on the track here, and come in first each time. Wednesday in the Grab Bag she picked up 119 pounds and won so handily that her jockey, Laverne Fator. turned in his saddle six times to yell derisively at the boys on Parasol and Befuddle. Happy Thoughts ran the six furlongs in 1:114-5, traveling under restraint all the way. This exhibition, coupled with her time trial run Sunday, in which she covered the same distance In 1:10 3-5, has convinced tne most skeptical race followers that she is. the find of the year. W. V. Thrives neglected to enter her in any of the big Eastern stakes, and for this reason Wednesday's race probably will be her last appearance in the East this year. Her owner plans on sendin x her West to prepare for the Breeders’ Futurity, the Ken tucky Jockey Club stakes and the Queen City Handicap.

He held the “Home Brews” to seven hits while his mates were collecting ten off Eddie Schaack, one of the locals' best flingers. The today were still three games behind the Columbus Senators, who hold fourth place in the A. A. standing, and all the Hoosiers expressed a desire to sweep the series here. The Tribesmen want to horn in on the first division and they believe they'll accomplish the feat on the present road trip. The Indians came from behind to win Wednesday. The score was 2 to 0 in favor of the Brewers when the fifth inning rolled around, but after that session, in which the Hoosiers tallied four times, the Brewers were done for the afternoon.

Only about 1,000 fans were present as the baseball enthusiasm here is at low ebb because of the recent poor road record of the Brewers.
